considerable less acreage has been put

started to go down, and before the usual
high water season (middle of June) has
arrived, there will be scarcity of water,
no doubt.

they pump and pump and can draw no
water from the well, ask them politely
to give way"
A discourse delivered by Elder Newly
on his experience among the Maorles

and encouraging.
Efforts are being made by parties in

A Song of Fleeing Low

Love has wings as light as bird,
Guileless he looks. as q dove, of wrong;
Whatever his song, be it brief or long,
1t still has this foEan overword:
Love has wings!
Il
Though to-day the truant may stay,
Though he wooes and sues and sings,
Only sorrow to maids he brings;
Pout him and f1out him. laugh him away:
Love has wings!
Hold your pulses calm, unstirred-
Calm and cool as woodland pool,
Let not his song your heart befool
List, through it all, for the overwords:
Love has wings!

Woman.

Most fattered and least trusted of the race,
Dropt for whim and followed for face.
Loved for their follies. their devotion
scorned,
In presence sighted and IN absence
Inourned.
Their hearts, their characters, by men
abused;
Who never think their help should be re-
fused
Seated by kings and trampled in the mire,
The best and worst they equally inspire.
Cursed for their weakness, hated when
they're strong;
Whatever happens always in the wrong.
Tact is their genius. Add yet one thing
more,
Woman is lost when woman proves bore

water rushed in so fast that she
swamped inside of two minutes. The
two natives set up a dismal wall, and
started off in body to swim to the
island. Had they swan quietly they
might have reached it; but the poor
fellows were half-crazed with fear, and
they splashed the water about and
kept up a kind OF wailing, and the
alligators were at once put on the
scent
"Great Godl but we are to be eaten
alive!" gasped my companion as the
boat settled down with US. :,
"Don't follow" l warned, as he
prepared to strike out after the ma
tlves. 'If we have any show at all,
it is in drifting out into the river with
the boat" !
The gunwa]es of the boat were
awash, and we were both in the water
clinging to the craft, he on one
side and I on the other. There
was sluggish current there, but we
had not drifted thirty feet from the
snag when we heard the shrieks and
screams OF the natives as the reptiles
rushed upon them. There was a ter
rible fight over the victims, and the
waves kicked up helped to drive us
from the locality, and were probably
the means Of saving our lives.
After the first few words neither OF
US spoke. Any attempt to cheer and
encourage would have been mockery.
The first moment We were sighted by
g. saurian our time had come. AS we
drifted slowly along one passed ME by
not more than ten feet as he made for
the island, and for g. few seconds Twas
blind with terror. Foot by foot we
drifted away, and at length struck the
current of the river, and it was not
five minutes later when a boat from
the steamer picked us up. They had
heard the firing and knew that We
were in trouble, but had come too late
to save our helpers from a terrible
death.
